In 2023, she won the Change Champion Award alongside leaders such as David Attenborough and Malala Yusafzai for her children's book 'Bright New World,' which was adopted by the Australian National Curriculum. She founded Planetari, pioneering Earth-led education, earning a Climate Positive Award at UN COP28. Previously MD of Blue Marine Foundation and CEO of Cambridge Science Centre, she is an Associate Fellow of University of Cambridge Homerton College where she is currently co-founding the Centre for Systemic Change. She is a trained yoga teacher and sound healing practitioner.\nIn this profound conversation, we explore the role of spiritual practice in sustaining changemakers, the paradox of living in systems misaligned with our values, and why \"cosmic time\" might offer a more realistic perspective on transformation than human urgency. Cindy shares why we need the courage to build entirely new models rather than fixing broken systems, and how current education systems crush the natural interconnectedness that children understand.\n\nFor more of Cindy's work:\nWebsite: https://cindyforde.world/\nPlanetari: https://planetari.world/\nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cindy-forde-10668911/\nFor more from Mark McCartney:\nNewsletter: https://www.whatisagood.life/\nWebsite: https://www.mmcleadership.com/\nLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-mccartney-14b0161b4/\nYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@whatisagoodlife\nInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/markcmccartney\n00:00 - The Guiding Question of Harmony\n05:45 - Growing Up Between Two Worlds\n12:30 - Discovering Spiritual Practice\n18:45 - Inner and Outer Coherence\n25:15 - The Corporate Paradox\n30:00 - Understanding Cosmic Time\n35:30 - Urgency and Thinking Differently\n40:30 - Single Issues to Systems\n44:00 - Courage to Call Out\n47:30 - Crushing Natural...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/bmT8FMFAsdpL8YpCcl1-OrgjJf3IhVZ_KJftDu8Wgy8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzM3NDg2LzE2NzI4/MzUxMDgtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
